Richard Matheson

    20 febbraio 1926 – 23 giugno 2013

    Richard Matheson è stato un maestro della narrativa di genere, le cui opere esplorano spesso le sfaccettature più oscure della psiche umana e della società. Le sue narrazioni, che intrecciano frequentemente elementi di fantascienza, horror e fantasy, sono rinomate per i loro colpi di scena inaspettati e le profonde analisi di individui comuni di fronte a dilemmi straordinari. Lo stile distintivo di Matheson spaziava da una prosa scarna ed essenziale a toni satiricamente esagerati, creando racconti ricchi di paranoia, lotte morali ed elementi soprannaturali inquietanti che hanno profondamente influenzato il cinema e la televisione.
